Bellissima Mirtilla,
Tu di luce avanz’ il Sol
E con un raggio sol
Accendi mille cor
Chi sempre mai del foco tuo sfavilla
Può viver liet’ ogn’ hor.
Fa, la, la…

Co’ tuo leggiadri squardi
Fa hor viver, hor morir;
Ne alcun si può schermir
Dal grande tuo valor:
Chi vuol fuggir hà sempre i passi tardi.
E parte tutto ardor.
Fa, la, la…

Beltà celeste in terra
In te scorge occhi mortal;
Ne odor spirano egual
Al tuo di Maggio i fior
Innanzi a te humil anco s’atterra
Pietà chiedendo Amor.
Fa, la, la…
